Wife's Toy —
Rather cramped for tall people. Little storage and the trunk is very shallow. A car to cruise in, not for trips.Had to get custom seat covers since a black interior will cause damage in 115 degree heat! Nothing else to say.

Retro T-bird Ok, But No Classic —
The retro-Birds are nice looking and average performers, but they miss being either a luxury car or a sports car. The trunk is so shallow that there is little storage. Ford got the retro part right, but failed on most of the other aspects.

Fun Ride —
I had this car in seafoam green with a silver gray interior with the nice thunderbird rims. I had so many compliments when I had this car. It was so much fun to drive and it had lots of power. For an 8 cylinder it was great on gasoline. There were not too many of these cars made, so I hardly ever saw one like mine. Great convertible for a shorter person, a taller person's head would go over the windsheild when the convertible top is down. Hope to have another one of these again. Highly recommend this car, it's such a unique and fun car. It had a great sound system as well.

T-bird —
Love this car! It is so much fun to drive with the top down, and they are holding the value pretty well! It is nice looking with the Hard Top on, but much better as a convertible. Love this car

Great No Duh —
they love it its the bestest car and great car even my parents love it it is such a solid and beautiful, amazing and everyone loves it all the thunderbird models are great except the one which is not a convertible its so fun to ride in it and to feel the wind in your face its the best

My Play Toy —
Fun car to drive bring backs my childhood. Away loved the look. Ford should keep in the line up. Handles good I have no problems with this car. Nice interior layout is good hard getting but after in it a great confort

Great Car —
My wife and I are proud owners of a 2004 Vintage Mint Green Thunderbird. We are empty nesters and have derived great joy from cruising around Michigan in this car! It is a real head turner...

Unique Color And Style. Great For The Weekends. —
Looks great, handles great. Modern day version of the classic T-Bird of the 1950's.V-8 gives excellent acceleration, braking and handling. Front seats very comfortable. Heated. Vehicle has been very reliable with limited mechanical issues. Monterey Mist Green metal flake paint with Ash top is unique.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros:
This is a Pacific Coast Roadster model, only 1,000 were manufactured . (815/1000). Great mid life crisis convertible. Still get compliments every time I am at the gas station.

Red Hot 2003 ThunderbirdBy Michelewoodward5
